Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that infertility in women is fundamentally rooted in kidney deficiency, or due to inherent weakness, insufficient endowment; or due to careless sexual practices that damage kidney essence; or due to frequent childbirth that weakens the kidneys. The spleen is the foundation of postnatal health and the source of essence and blood. If the spleen is weak, essence and blood will lack nourishment, leading to infertility.
